Operation Motivation...

This is a plan to get myself up and ready to start completing some of my dreams and i invite/challenge everyone to try it as well.

First up you need to think of a dream, something you want, or a goal you have or a mixture if they are in the same 'genre'. For me, i'm going to start with:
'I want to complete nanowrimo'
'I want to publish a book'

Next up, think of a way to start getting you motivated to do these. BUT remember you have to learn to crawl before you can walk or run (this is the whole philosophy, if you will, of Operation Motivation). There is no point in saying 'right! tomorrow i will plan out my novel and start writing it so it can be published' i have tried and failed with that approach many times. instead this is what i vow to do:

'Starting today i will write a 500 word, short story everyday. It will based off 3 random words i get from a random word generator and i will publish this story on Protagonize so i can get feed back'

In a weeks time i will review this and see if i can challenge myself further. After awhile i might decide to boost that up to 1000 words a day when i'm used to writing 500. 1000 words a day is just under the daily average of 1667 words you need to write to complete the nanowrimo. When you complete a nanowrimo, you essentially have written a novel.
See how everything builds up to that ultimate dream?
If you are finding it difficult you can always go backwards a bit, slow it down and give yourself a slightly easier challenge.

Well, i'm off to write my first 500 word story. Wish me luck =)
